The banners are lovely! I'll grab one next I get to my computer.

I found it quite difficult to fill out the "what did you do more of" poll, because half the things on it were things that I already do (like read recs or leave comments for writers/artists) so I only ended up ticking "post more recs". xD

Last year around the same time I made a kind of New Years resolution (even if I started this well before NYE) which was "a) leave a comment on everything you read/look at, and b) if you rec something the least you can do is comment on it first" which I've been diligently doing all year. :) I can count on less than two hands the times I didn't leave a comment and that was only if I couldn't stomach the fic and stopped reading it. Anyway, my point is, I think im going to also make it a habit to rec more in addition to commenting and not just hit the "save bookmark as rec" button on ao3.

Yes, I really try to comment on everything, but sometimes it just doesn't work (on the phone, just about to fall asleep or go out, etc).

It's nice that you already did the things on the poll! And thanks so much for your recs.

[nerakrose]

oh i didn't mean it as a critique! i just meant that i'd become really shit at commenting, to the point where i never commented at all, and i wanted to change that about myself. :)

:D
